Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Brock Purdy [Ice] #ESR-11 sells for $798 against $400 raw: a $398 spread, 2.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($725) clears the raw price after an economy-tier ~$25 fee, so a near-miss still comes out ahead. Centering is the usual reason a clean copy misses the 10 — measure it before you submit.

Raw (NM): $400
Grade 9.5: $798
